Really like the art. Super polished for a game jam. It’s on point with the theme and the creative use of the google chrome no internet game idea is gold!
Now I know what happens when Google Chrome disconnects. Good game!
This. This is golden.
Those poor little geckos 🥺
How do you have twice the number of ratings as the next most rated game?? I genuinely need some advice on getting rated more as we put tonnes of work into our game... :'(
So simple and creative ! Love the art too.
I really loved the art style! great job!!
I loved the idea around the dinosaur run and explaining the deep lore about the shadow of the dino that we see when we do not have internet! 10/10 a fun game!
Absolutely fantastic… just a incredibly fun and unique take on the endless platformer genre. Great work, Great Art, Great Music.
This is such a good idea! and I love the little dino model animations. The intro was also a great start to the game and is very impressive for 48 hrs!
Damn, good twist on the google game! Nice mechanic!
Genius game idea really well done
How does one even come up with an idea this good. Great execution too. Congrats!
Great Entry! Awesome twist on the classic. I didn't think I would question the ethics of the dinosaur when playing but I feel I have grown as a person.
Awesome visual style in the cutscenes and gameplay, great humour and creativity, nice action music to match. I was experiencing lag occasionally that stopped my screen so I would hit obstacles. Apart from that this game was awesome
Thank you! :D
Oh damn, that's troublesome, thanks for reporting this! We're considering to make an after-jam update to fix the lags and optimize the user experience in general. :)
This broke my brain 😵💫
Awesome idea and amazing execution!!
I love it when game mechanics make sense in terms of the shadow growing and shrinking like it would in the real world. I like the dynamic of having to avoid the meteors combined with thinking about the shadow too
What a hilarious idea! Good job super creative!
I would give 6 stars in creativity if I could, the ideia is SO GOOD and the execution don't fall behind.
Oh man, I can see why this got so popular! I LOVE the concept, especially how you took those iconic 1-bit graphics and painted them in a whole new perspective. Also, the visuals would've still been incredible, even if they weren't somehow done up within 48 hours. Bravo!!
Commenting cuz I thought this game could use some more attention.
